Finally taking some photos of the finished eggs. These are based on a Japanese temari ball design. It was NOT easy to figure out.

I’ve wanted to try some stained glass eggs and finally spent some time playing. Fun, but very time consuming!

This year at the Pysanky USA retreat I took a Baba Doll class and this is the completed egg. She was so much fun to create. I think I’m going to have to try making a few more.

For the last several years I’ve been going to the Pysanky USA retreat in Pennsylvania to take classes and also to teach classes. I often come home with unfinished eggs, and (true confession here) don’t always get around to finishing them. I had some time and energy last week and decided it was time to complete a couple of these projects. Here’s my favorite from a class taught by Theresa Somerset.

Last Sunday I had the privilege of working on a goose egg as part of our weekend worship services at Oak Hills Church. I brought the egg home and finished it yesterday.

A Trypillian-style ostrich egg. This one was a LOT of work, but worth it. Here are the four sides.

A new year and new quilt-inspired eggs.

This was a special request egg. Shades of turquoise with a family poem for a sixteen-year-old granddaughter.

Experimenting with a new technique this time. Alcohol inks combined with the usual dyes gave an interesting background. I liked the way this egg turned out…and I don’t even like orange!

These Trypillian-style eggs are addicting. Just three colors, but unlimited possibilities.

Pretty blue Delft-inspired eggs to brighten a rainy day!

Another egg exchange project.

Playing with shading and colors on a goose egg. This was a fun one!

My first ever etched emu egg. I’ve had a couple of emu eggs for years, but never quite got up the courage to try working on them. It really helped to take a class from an expert with lots of experience.

New blue floral eggs.

Here’s a large goose egg.

…and a smaller goose egg.

Another small goose egg.

A turkey egg.

And a small quail egg.

A new black and white ostrich egg!

October 18, 2011

Playing with black and white eggs again, only this time with a tiny parakeet egg and a larger turkey egg.

…and thinking about Christmas coming up always puts me in the mood for reds and greens.

June 30, 2011

Sometimes designs that look so simple are really difficult to figure out. This one stretched my brain a bit until I got the hang of it.

June 25, 2011

New dyes and a new technique equals fun.

June 8, 2011

This may be my best goose egg yet. I love the bright red against the dark red background.

March 15, 2011

New dye colors open up a whole new world for play. Here are a couple of samples of my new blues and greens.

And a few more Trypillian designs…

September 21, 2010

These two eggs were custom-made for a friend who had twin boys. Notice how the eggs are very similar, just like the twins, but each is slightly unique.

September 20, 2010

I had fun exploring how to accent the vertical aspect of the egg with this one.

Hi Teresa,
Do you remember me? You came to my little farm house and we had tea and shared eggs.
I happened upon your page while preparing for my Ukrainian Egg workshop here tomorrow. Such superb work. I will be out of town when you are teaching at Carmichael park or I’d be there to learn.
You are truly a master. I look forward to meeting and connecting again.
Blessings on your Springtime and classes,
Ellen Springwind

Thanks for asking, Julie. The price depends on the size of the egg, how detailed the design, and how many colors are used. It ranges from $25 for a small, simple chicken egg to over $700 for a large complex ostrich egg. If a particular egg or design interests you, let me know and I can be more specific. Hope that helps!
